hey if i plod around in 2nd gear and low speed the car is quiet jerky

not beef jerky, but kinda engine revving jerky, almost makes me look like i cant drive

is that the mega cams doing that?? is it something i can tune out with more or less ign timing?

only happens on light cruise in 2nd gear at low speed, if i open the throttle it goes away

Big cams on a little motor can do that yes.

lol evo life

mate's 8mr which was pushing a bit of power did that too. first time it happened i thought i had forgotten how to drive, lol.

mine's still pretty good atm tho at current power levels. we'll see how it is after next round of mods... (no cams tho, so here's hoping... ain't nobody got time for dat jerk)

Usually happens due to running lean at idle as I found out last night, then again today with Greg's car. ;)Cams would make it much more pronounced.

You got widebands fitted guys? Why the hell not?

I copped that coming back from Singapore... Was golden

Can be better than business class stuck in their individual seats :)

Though you would have needed some leg fold surely

Captain just said 40 on this A330 including business class bahahah

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
